The world has crossed a grim milestone with over 100 million confirmed COVID-19 infections, as the virus continues to surge in multiple regions. Data shows over 2 million deaths globally, with health systems strained from Brazil to India despite vaccination efforts.
New variants and uneven vaccine distribution are complicating containment efforts. While wealthy nations accelerate immunizations, many developing economies face supply shortages and logistical hurdles. Public health experts warn pandemic fatigue and relaxed restrictions could prolong the crisis.
Global cooperation remains critical, with the World Health Organization urging equitable vaccine access. Meanwhile, countries like Japan and Germany are extending lockdowns amid rising cases, while the U.S. debates stimulus measures to counter economic fallout.
